Find the perfect parrot seed mix for your bird.
Did you know that, in the wild, many parrots and other birds naturally eat seeds? In fact, some of the most popular pet birds are almost exclusively seed eaters, including budgies, cockatiels, finches and canaries. This is called granivory, and their favourite foods include wheat and other cereals. They eat seeds in their ripe and unripe form, both fresh and dried. Seeds galore!
Although, contrary to popular belief, your bird shouldn't be eating a diet consisting exclusively of dried seeds in your home - they don't fulfill all of a bird's dietary needs - including a certain amount of seed in your parrot's diet is a natural and healthy choice. With increased knowledge and continual research, top avian brands and vets have formulated seed mixes that ensure your bird has access to some of the cleanest, tastiest and healthiest seeds available. Parrot Essentials carries a range of these high-quality seed blends, so you can always find your bird's favourite parrot seed mix here.
We offer top brands like:
- Tidymix
- Hagen Living World
- Versele-Laga
- Buckton's
- Johnston & Jeff
- Vitakraft
- Parrot Essentials Food
And much more! In this category, you can even find our very own Parrot Essentials parrot food. Whether you've got a tiny budgie or a huge macaw, there's something here for everyone.
Many seed diets contain human-grade ingredients of the highest quality. These, in combination with complete parrot pellet diets, will ensure your parrot is healthy, happy and more vibrant than ever. Complete your parrot's daily meals with a variety of other parrot food, including fresh vegetables, fruits, sprouts and the occasional yummy treat for a balanced diet that sustains its needs without the risk of obesity. And don't forget to make things a little more interesting by encouraging foraging: as discussed in the article on why foraging is important for parrots, it's a fantastic way to make mealtime more fun and prevent boredom in your bird.
As with any dietary change, we recommend consulting with your avian vet before you add seeds to its diet. They can advise you on the right amount, seed type and much more based on species, weight and other factors.
